Palisades Park rehires ex-official

The Borough Council has appointed Pollotta as the clerk of the works for the affordable senior housing project. Pollotta will receive $24 per hour in the post and work a maximum of 28 hours a week, Borough Administrator David Lorenzo said.

Lorenzo said Pollotta replaced the previous clerk of the works, who resigned to take another job.

"We grabbed him out of retirement,'' Lorenzo said, noting Pollotta will not receive any fringe benefits.

As clerk of the works, Pollotta will be on site to assist Lorenzo, who is overseeing the $1 million project on Centre Place. Lorenzo said the project should be completed in the next few months.

Pollotta, son of the borough's longtime Democratic leader, Michael Pollotta, retired as construction official last summer. His monthly pension benefit, after 16 years and 9 months of service, is $2,688.12, or $32,257.44 a year, according to the state Treasury Department.
